the sound of the soul....

Yesterday's goals, dim memories.
Dark saddened eyes, blurring with tears.
Painful scars borne,
Futures crumble when doubt appears.

No brightly lit hope envisioned,
When following after harsh words.
Hurt soul splits in twain, partitioned.
Swooned by appeal when numbness lured.

Apologies made, never bought.
Price paid turned out far too costly.
Though never known what would be wrought
Must walk into the night softly.

One wish, only to be released.
Granted now receive this token.
Words written in rhyme, dreams deceased.
When promises made . . . .were broken.
